White dry
PRE-SALE WINE DELIVERY IS SCHEDULED FOR THE END OF APRIL.
"Blanco de Parcela" is an exceptional masterpiece by Mariano García. As the first white wine created by this renowned winemaker in the region, it reveals a completely new and intriguing side of the legendary estate.
This wine is crafted from 'Verdejo' grapes grown in a single vineyard, Fuente de las Hontanillas, situated at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level, where the limestone soil and cool microclimate ensure the grapes' concentration and freshness.
The production process is highly meticulous: the grapes are hand-selected and gently pressed, and the resulting must is fermented with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature; afterwards, the wine is aged on its lees for 12 months in 500-liter French oak barrels.

Bodegas Aalto (official name — Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos) was founded in 1999 by two prominent figures in the wine world: Mariano García, long-time technical director at Vega Sicilia, and Javier Zaccagnini, then director of the Ribera del Duero appellation. Their goal was to create wines with a clear individual identity that reflect the diversity of terroirs while achieving maximum complexity and balance.
In 2006, the Masaveu and Nozaleda families—bringing extensive experience in the wine industry—joined the project.
Wines and Strategy
Bodegas Aalto manages approximately 130 hectares of old-vine (40–100 years) ‘Tinto Fino’ (Tempranillo) vineyards, divided into more than 200 individual plots across nine municipalities in the Ribera del Duero region. These sites encompass a wide range of soil types and microclimates, enabling the creation of complex, multi-layered wine blends.
Grapes are grown without herbicides or chemical fertilizers, under strict quality standards, and yields are kept low—resulting in wines of exceptional intensity and concentration.
Winery and Winemaking Philosophy
The winery’s first production facility was leased in Roa (1999–2004). Later, a purpose-built winery was constructed in Quintanilla de Arriba, with the first phase completed in 2005 and a second expansion in 2016. The architecture is modern and minimalist, seamlessly integrated into the surrounding landscape.
Winemaking combines advanced fermentation technologies (stainless steel, concrete, and oak) with a strong focus on grape authenticity and minimal intervention.
